Teens 16 to 19 are 4 times more likely to be victims of rape than the general population (National Crime Victimization Survey, 2000).

In sexual assaults of adults, the offender was a stranger in 25% of incidents, a family member in 12% of incidents, and an acquaintance in 63% of incidents (National Violence Against Women Survey, 1995 – 2000).

In 29% of rapes, the offender used a weapon.

In 47% of sexual assaults, the victim sustained additional injuries.

75% of female rape victims require medical care after an attack.

Less than 5% of college women report incidences of rape to the police.

75% of male students and 55% of female students involved in acquaintance rape had been drinking or using drugs.

More than half of sexually assaulted college women tell no one of their victimization.

It is estimated that only 16% - 40% of all rapes are reported to law enforcement (Kilpatrick et al., 2007: Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1992-2000).
